Matt Cardona On Being Better
In an interview with Justin Barrasso for Undisputed, Matt Cardona discussed his passion for wrestling. He stated that he was not bitter, as he was instead focused on getting better.
“It’s all I’ve ever wanted to be. I still love it, I’m still a fan. I still collect wrestling figures,” he said. “F-ck, we make them now, too. I still watch the shows. It’s what I do, it’s who I am. There is still so much more I want to accomplish. If someone in WWE or AEW calls me, we’ll talk. But that’s not where I’m at. I am focused on making tomorrow better than today. I can’t be bitter. I’m too focused on being better.”
